Sam Radford Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 So managed to get this uploaded to my youtube channel https://youtu.be/_6h-p4BHIl4 have a look and see what you think? Only used some 3in1 oil before the close and had small amount of chalk on the grippers before the close, none in the hand. I have a WT #150 and this is easier than this so can't say what the RGC rating of it is? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Raftopoulos Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Nice!! I would have sent that vid for mm0. Looks like we'll have a winner. Is this your first time closing it? Looked relatively effortless. Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job! It was my first time properly closing it, I tried about 30 mins before and was about 5-7mm off. I believe the oil should be used before each attempt as this reduces the friction. I'll upload my earlier attempt onto my youtube channel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use the chalk that is on the gripper from previous closes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jüri Sankman Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 where do you live? Does it take long time (shipping/customs) to get grippers from the US? Usually yes, that way I get the benefit of training with grippers more often with less likelihood of having pain. I really like training my off hand but I go more for TNS sets. The rate of improvement is still the same with the R I believe. The stand is really nice but ya, once you have a lot of grippers you ll need something different. I keep mine in a box but I have a few on my desk on a wooden storage thingy (see pic) I live in Estonia. It takes 20-25 days to arrive. Alright, understand. I just do both hands in one session. And my offhand is at the same spot. Closed my RB240 with offhand at the same day as with the right. But I feel like right hand is capable for few pounds more because of the setting the gripper. Yea, I'm "engineering" my next stand. (only thoughts now). I wanted something same as you have on table, but did this one. Do you throw them just in a box or? I don't want them to touch each other, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to see how much time I have Seriously, if you close it again like that you are good to go for the mm0. You have unlimited attempts anyway so you might as well send it even if you are not sure and let the judges decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep mine in a box but I have a few on my desk on a wooden storage thingy (see pic) I live in Estonia. It takes 20-25 days to arrive. 25 days? oh man. I can't imagine the anticipation when you go for MM1 Alright, understand. I just do both hands in one session. And my offhand is at the same spot. Closed my RB240 with offhand at the same day as with the right. But I feel like right hand is capable for few pounds more because of the setting the gripper. nice! my left hand crush is weaker but it was weaker at the starting point. With finger and wrist strength there is not much difference I believe. It's harder for me as well to set the gripper on my L for MMS, that's why I think I like doing TNS with lighter grippers. Yea, I'm "engineering" my next stand. (only thoughts now). I wanted something same as you have on table, but did this one. Do you throw them just in a box or? I don't want them to touch each other, lol. what's wrong with touching each other? haha . I got that thing from a cheap furniture store. I think it's supposed to be for plants. The rest of them in a box because my wife doesn't wanna see them (we live in a small apartment). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably have another go on Thursday but think I will submit the video and see if I get white lights. Trying to get the close on video is a trick itself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time will tell This is part of my training that I do to improve strength all over and to pass time till my next gripper workout Don't judge though, no where near my bench! Totally feel ya bro. My school has finished now but I have to stay in town with one of my buddies because if I go home I will just train grippers and that's not good in the log run. I also got a PB in strict military press today. On the third trie it went.

Evan Raftopoulos Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 I finally closed my no 3 first time today. Will be sending my vid for MM0, It's not very clear if it's parallel set because when I started closing it my hand was far from the camera. I will try couple more attempts right now. if it gets denied I will post it here. From what I understand nobody else has to see it first, right? Or is that for feat judging but not mm0?
